The devil exists, and he not only tempts us, but also deceives us. (Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time) https://blog.naver.com/daumez/2233359... The first thing Jesus had to confront was the power of the devil. We remember the three temptations in the wilderness, the numerous exorcisms, and the scene where Jesus told Peter, "Get behind me, Satan!" We must remember: The devil exists, and he not only tempts us, but also deceives us. The moment we engage in conversation with the devil, we find ourselves asking, "Jesus, what good is faith?" We confront him with questions like, "Have you come to put a yoke on me?", "Have you come to persuade me to forgive and love those people?", "Is there even a kingdom of God?", and "I'm sick of your justice." We become servants of the devil and say, "If you are the Son of God..." They end up saying Mass for themselves, for the sake of reality, and find joy in Mass and the sermon. Bewitched by the devil, they abandon Mass, seeking joy, meaning, love, and rest in things other than the Lord. Like the devil, they confess the Lord with loveless knowledge, living lives unrelated to Him, yet still thinking they believe in Him. https://blog.naver.com/daumez/2233359...
